Is It Time For An Audio Safari Again? Yes, Yes It Is Time For An Audio Safari Again.

There comes a time in every man’s life when he must own up to the fact that he is 100% mailing it in. And I’m not going to lie about it. For weeks now I’ve been circling in my car around the e-block, passing my virtual domicile — this website — repeatedly,  slowing down each time while I debate whether I can summon the strength to come in and act like things are normal with my e-family inside before speeding up and driving out of sight to the nearest Motel 8 to spend another night on a bumpy, crumbling mattress watching HBO on a fuzzy, boxy old tv. I can’t do it. It’s not the same. I’ve changed, you’ve changed, the internet’s changed.

I guess I should make one thing clear: I’ve left. Skipped the country to broaden my horizons with a semester studying abroad. What does this mean for the blog, you ask? Well, things may be weird for a while. Mommy and I still love each other very much, but sometimes that’s not enough, or so that heartbreaking flashback from Juliet’s childhood in the finale of last season of Lost informed me. But I promise to visit every other weekend, and maybe uncle DFJ can take you to the zoo every now and again.

Realistically, what this changes is that I have a genuinely good excuse for not posting. Internet here is sketchy at best. I’m also 6 hours off real people time (yes, Eastern Time is “real people time”), and uploading is stupid hard. Also, my downloads are capped pretty aggressively, so even promos are hard to receive. I’ll try my best, but a week will, at most, contain 3 posts. Sorry, duders. I’ll start you off right with an Audio Safari, whose last iteration I’m far too lazy to look up. Enjoy “BedRock,” a stupidly adorable Young Money single you’ve undoubtedly heard, “California English, Pt. 2,” a Contra b-side that takes the auto-tune all the way to the top, and Caribou’s infectious “Odessa,” which should keep you smiling even as you talk to your internet psychologist about the abandonment issues I’ve spawned in you.
